Cheat the system
Take a leap of faith
Reap rewards
With a smile on your face
Climb to heights
Of which you dream
But act gracefully
No need to preen
Look around
Take in what you see
Calmly does it
While others flee
Seal your future
With a single truth
You own your life
And it’s not uncouth
So when sirens sound
However feeble you feel
Lean on your Inner Strength
Make your changes real
